Red Gills

[Lilac]

He has red on the outside of his gills. It wasn't like this before. He is in a 3 gallon
tank. The water is fine. He eats with no problem. If you don't feed him fast enough he will jump at you.

What could the red gills be?

 

[WILDER]

Red gills can be poor water quality so need to no stats in ammonia,nitrite,nitrate,and ph, gills flukes any flicking and rubbing on objects, or laboured breathing.

 

[Lilac]

Ammonia, niatrate, and nitrite are at zero. The Ph is at 7.2
There is nothing on him, and he isn't flicking or rubbing on anything.
Breathing is normal.
I can never get a picture of him or I'd show you what it looks like.
Every time I try the picture gets messed up and he starts getting stressed.
